Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has identified Arsenal winger Christos Tzolis as his standout signing of the summer transfer window.
Ferdinand made the assessment on his YouTube show, praising Arsenal’s recruitment despite the club opting against making a large number of additions.
Tzolis moved to the Premier League champions from Club Brugge in July for £34 million and has already impressed with his pace, skill and work rate, although he is yet to register an official goal for the Gunners.
Ferdinand said: “Arsenal didn’t have to go crazy in terms of like loads and loads of players.
“But I think they’ve been really efficient in the way that they’ve gone and bought players this this in this window.
“Tzolis is going to be a winger I think we’re going to have to watch out for this year.
“I think he’s going to do some good stuff and I think he’s going to look like a snip and maybe could end up being one of the buys of the season. Definitely one of the bargains of the season.”
